- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
AHU cleaning in Woking
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. The work covers filter sections, dampers and louvres and drain trays, and the jobs we see most are units that have only ever had filter changes and plant that needs cleaning after a refit.
Offices, schools and hotels in Woking stay in use while their ventilation is cleaned, so we work zone by zone, out of hours where needed.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why deal with it now?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, especially where there’s been moisture. Leave a system long enough in a busy place like Woking and the job grows.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
Woking buildings and their air

A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. About 0.8 miles east of Woking is Woking Community Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.

For schools like Goldsworth Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. Hospitals such as Woking Community Hospital (about 0.8 miles east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Woking are no different.
